Photo of a Wooden Ship

A picture of a ship with the ocean in the background you might enjoy. I think if I were to take this photo again I might consider trying to get more of the mast in the picture. While this was done with a cell phone camera it does offer an opportunity to sort of "spot check" a picture and then go back with a more professional camera under ideal conditions (sky, light, waves, etc..). Cell phone technology is likely to continue to grow and develop making cell pictures of higher quality. I'm still waiting on someone to invent a professional camera and cell phone combination. Sometimes you get the best shots when you don't have a camera!

Using Art Commercially

Someone asked if I would paint this picture on canvas for them and I might try to do it for them at some point in the near future. Right now I'm working on testing whether or not custom logos and art will sell well on a mallet head as "special editions". Perhaps I could take an outline of this ship and put it on a mallet head🤔 Of course special editions improve branding through uniqueness that can't be copied easily but also allows you to raise money for a special cause or purpose. The other thing that special offerings do is raise the overall value/revenue that can be drawn from a product when that customization is specific and limited (If everyone did it and it was the same its not really customization anymore).

Thinking about this custom idea and manufacturing. A single idea idea can build into product lines, gear, clothing etc... Not saying Escanaba Polo Mallet Co. would be able to do that but it is a business designed to understand road blocks to other businesses trying to emerge on a global market. From a curiosity stand point is possible to turn custom work into a bigger good works business (Teaching others while doing it yourself approach.)? As of yet its a very small start-up and more towards exploring ideas than actually capitalizing on them fully. (FYI---If you want to donate to the orphans through a non-profit check out HERE)
